While the saying ‘good things come in small packages’ doesn’t apply to everything, it definitely rings true for bullet vibrators.

As the name suggests, bullet vibrators are small pellet-shaped vibrating sex toys with rounded tips that are tiny enough to stow away in your pocket or bag.

Unlike bigger and buzzier options with remote controls or endless settings, these beginner-friendly vibes are known for their lower pattern count (without sacrificing effectiveness, of course) and have at the very most, two control buttons, for simple manoeuvring.

Their discreet size, incredible power and ability to rev up a mind-blowing orgasm every time and anywhere, make them one of the best vibrators on the market — especially for beginners and travelling needs.

Our top pick is the Vush Fleur Precision Bullet Vibrator that five-star reviewers say not only “works wonders” but also gives “Eye rolling, body shaking, toe-curling orgasms.” Plus, it’s currently 30 per cent off.

And PSA: Right now Vush has a warehouse sale of up to 45 per cent off their top vibes.

So, whether you’re in the market for a bullet for masturbation or fun couples play, we’ve rounded up the very best petite vibes to add to your collection that’ll satisfy all your sexual needs.

BEST PREMIUM BULLET VIBRATOR

LELO Mia 2, $129 at LELO

What You Need To Know

Don’t let its size fool you because its tapered tip and six powerful vibration patterns will undoubtedly provide some of the most memorable sensations.

It’s also USB-rechargeable, 100 per cent waterproof, comes with a satin storage pouch and a single charge will give you up to 90 minutes of love.

“I have bigger toys from Lelo and was not expecting this one to be as good as the ones I keep at home, but I was completely wrong because regardless of its size, it does its job very well,” one five-star reviewer noted.

Countless users have also mentioned it’s worth paying that few extra dollars for this quality vibe rather than settling for a cheaper one.

“I’ve had this for about two months now and all I can say is wow,” another reviewer exclaimed.

“This is my first Lelo purchase and I’m very satisfied. It has more than enough power, great battery life, and is conveniently small and discreet. I’ve tried cheaper versions that were really loud and didn’t perform near as well.”

While the casing is plastic, reviews have noted it doesn’t come with a hollow feel, meaning the device still has a higher-end feel despite the lack of silicone (which is only used on the button area).

Plus, the plastic material of this vibrator means it slides around easily, making it a good option for anyone who doesn’t want to use lube with their toy.

WHAT SHOULD YOU LOOK FOR WHEN CHOOSING A BULLET VIBRATOR?

According to sex and relationship therapist Christine Rafe, there are four key features you should consider when purchasing the best bullet vibrator for you.

Material: Make sure any toy you purchase is made from body-safe and non-porous materials such as silicone, borosilicate glass, ABS plastic, Lucite and some metals like gold, silver and/or stainless steel. Most good quality bullet vibrators would be silicone, so use a water-based lubricant with these to avoid degrading the material.

Battery: Rechargeable vibrators are preferred to avoid the desperate search through your drawers for batteries midway through a pleasure session.

Motor: A toy that has a number of speed, intensity or vibration modes allows for multiple different pleasure sensations in one bullet vibe, and also means you’re more likely to find a mode to suit your specific pleasure needs.

Waterproof: A waterproof vibrator is a great feature to look for, particularly if you enjoy self-pleasure in a bath or shower.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

HOW DO I USE A BULLET VIBRATOR?

While bullet vibes are typically designed for stimulation of the clitoral bulb and hood, We-Vibe sex and relationship expert Christine Rafe says they do a lot more.

“Bullet vibrators are great for exploring all over the vulva including the inner and outer labia, urethra, entrance to the vagina as well as anus (externally),” Ms Rafe told news.com.au.

Using them is even easier.

“To use a bullet vibe, pop some water-based lubricant on your genitalia or the toy (or both), switch your bullet vibe on and find your desired setting (most have a number of intensity levels and some patterned vibration modes), and away you go!”

HOW LOUD ARE BULLET VIBRATORS?

While known to be quieter than larger sex toys, bullet vibes can vary in terms of the noise the vibrations produce depending on the quality. If noise is a concern, Ms Rafe recommends spending a bit more on a bullet that’s been designed with more advanced technology, which reduces the noise produced even on the highest intensity settings.

“If you are shopping online and want a quiet vibe, check the reviews of the brand as well as the specific toy to get an indication as to how loud it’s likely to be,” she said.

DO BULLET VIBRATORS HAVE MULTIPLE SETTINGS AND SPEEDS?

Although bullet vibrators flaunt a simplistic design, they come with a range of intensities and speed settings that are normally operated via a single button. You can even get an app-controlled bullet vibrator.

Ms Rafe recommends playing around with these functions so you can find a level that feels great for your body.

“My advice with any type of vibrator – and especially if it’s your first time using this or any toy – is to start on the lowest intensity or speed first, and tune in to the sensation over different locations, increasing intensity as you like to find the setting that feels the best for you in that moment,” Ms Rafe advised.

“I suggest playing around with the different modes each time you use it, acknowledging that what feels great for us today may not be the same as the last time we used it.”
